Pedal Spring (11). Apply a light coat of grease inside of
the Pedal Arm Bushings (37) in the Left Rear Spring
Bracket and to the axle on the left Disc Crossbar (16).
Slide a Spring Spacer (63) onto the axle; make sure
that the Spring Spacer is turned so the flat side is
facing the elliptical exerciser. Next, slide the Left
Rear Spring Bracket onto the axle. Slide a Spring
Bracket Washer (35) onto an M10 x 27mm Patch
Screw (40), and tighten the Patch Screw into the axle.
Next, hold the lower end of the left Handlebar Leg (5)
inside of the Front Spring Bracket (76) on the left Pedal
Spring (11). Apply grease to an M10 Bolt Set (74).
Attach the Handlebar Leg to the Front Spring Bracket
with the Bolt Set. Do not overtighten the Bolt Set;
the Handlebar Leg must pivot freely.
Attach the right Pedal Spring (not shown) to the right
side of the elliptical exerciser in the same way.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Stand behind the elliptical exerciser, hold the Rear
Stabiliser (9) firmly, and lift the elliptical exerciser until it
can be moved on the Wheels (22). Carefully move the
elliptical exerciser to the desired location, and then lower
it. CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of injury,
bend your legs and keep your back straight as you lift
the Rear Stabiliser; make sure to lift with your legs
rather than your back.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of
the elliptical
exerciser is
determined by
the positions of
the pedals. To
adjust each
pedal, first
remove the
pedal knob
beneath the
pedal. Slide the
pedal forward or
backward, and
then reattach the
pedal using one
of the five holes
in the pedal and one of the three holes in the pedal
spring. Make sure that both pedals are in the same
position.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars
are designed to
add upper-body
exercise to your
workouts. As you
exercise, push
and pull the han-
dlebars to work
your arms, shoul-
ders, and back.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the
elliptical exer-
ciser, hold the
handlebars and
step onto the
pedal that is in
the lowest posi-
tion. Then, step
onto the other
pedal. Push the
pedals until
they begin to
move with a
continuous
motion. Note:
The pedal
disks can turn
in either direc-
tion. It is rec-
ommended
that you move
the pedal disks in the direction shown by the
arrow; however, for variety, you may turn the pedal
disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals
will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest
pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed
with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand-
grip pulse sensor.
The console also offers six Smart programs. Each pro-
gram automatically changes the resistance of the ped-
als and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace
as it guides you through an effective workout.
In addition, the console features two Heart Rate pro-
grams that change the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate
near a target heart rate as you exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable
(available at electronics stores), you can connect the
elliptical exerciser to your home stereo, portable stereo,
computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and
video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are
available separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs
automatically control the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pace as a personal trainer
coaches you through every step of your workout. High-
energy music provides added motivation. To purchase
iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, visit our Web
site at www.iconeurope.com.
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-
er, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.
Explore www.iFIT.com for more information.
